Synopsis

Francis Russell has been visiting Turkey for more than thirty years, and with 123 recommended destinations, he provides a fascinating and wonderfully well-informed itinerary!

Rich in culture and history, Turkey is an infinitely rewarding proposition for the discriminating traveller. As well as covering the finest sites in the obvious tourist centres such as Istanbul, and all the major Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine sites, Russell provides extensive and thoughtful coverage of Armenian and Georgian churches, Seljuk and Ottoman monuments and all the great buildings of Islamic Turkey.

While much of the book focuses on the popular south-western coast, his recommendations and deeply informed accounts extend also far across the vast plains of Anatolia to the East, and all are easily accessible by road. Russell's deep understanding of the history and culture of the region and his keen eye for detail make him the most delightfully erudite of travelling companions, while the illustrations admirably complement his elegant descriptions.
